fresh impetus to many UK resident non-UK domiciliaries who are thinking about
their residency plans.However, for res

horizon – the change in the Inheritance Tax (IHT) deemed domiciled rules.

Second marriage spouses sometimes have Wills that do not
leave their assets to their second spouse outright.This is particularly the case when there are
children from the first marriage and the intention is to ensure that everyone –
the second wife and the children from the first marriage – receive
something.For some clients, this can be
a hard balancing trick to get right but careless will drafting can make
the situation a lot worse.

In my last blog, I
looked at automatic exchange of information regimes and this blog carries on
the transparency theme but in the sphere of corporate transparency.

Britain is ‘having a
transparency moment’, as some might say.Regular readers of this blog will know that Britain has already
introduced a public register of beneficial ownership and control of UK
companies and Limited Liability Partnerships (see my blog of 24 March 2016),
being the first of the G20 countries to do so.However, it appears that matters will not stop there.
